memory overhead and embedded Samba

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Okay, some things I've discovered...

I got my NSLU2 yesterday and fired it up today.  It's tiny!  Fits in my
palm.  :)

Downer:  I put an old laptop drive into a cheap USB2.0 drive case and it 
worked like a charm on all my Linux desktops (and the Windows boxes too).  
Unfortunately, the NSLU2 refused to recognize it.

The folks on the #nslu2-linux channel tell me that the stock firmware only 
seems to recognize the Maxtor drives that Linksys recommends.  Ugh.  Looks 
like I'll be upgrading to the UnSlung firmware.  On the plus side, UnSlung 
has a toolchain, and there's someone working on getting Samba3 compiled 
natively on the NSLU2.  Then they have to run it...  :)

More when I know it...
